Abstract

Hospitality and guest service in Islam represent the embodiment of noble moral values as taught in the Quran and Hadith. This study aims to explore how Islamic teachings guide individuals in hosting and serving guests. Employing a qualitative method, this research adopts the living Quran and Hadith approach, drawing data from Islamic scriptures, the results of ijtihad, and expert opinions. The use of the living Quran method is based on Engkizar's theory, tailored to the thematic needs and objectives of the study. Additional insights are supported by previous research published in reputable international journals. Thematic analysis reveals that the Islamic practices of visiting and hosting guests are not merely symbolic acts but are rooted in a profound value system encompassing etiquette, social responsibility, and mutual respect. These findings indicate that such values remain highly relevant in reinforcing a socially conscious culture grounded in Islamic principles. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic ethics and offers insights into fostering respectful and compassionate interpersonal relationships.

Abstract

The teaching of the Quran requires teachers to master fundamental instructional skills comprehensively, as they are not merely transmitters of sacred texts but also facilitators of effective, interactive, and meaningful learning processes. Such mastery enables teachers to foster students’ motivation, improve the quality of recitation, and cultivate an emotional connection with the Quran. This study aims to examine the concept and practice of nine essential teaching skills in Quranic instruction and to explore how these skills are implemented in classroom settings. Employing a qualitative content analysis approach, data were drawn from theories, expert opinions, and the review of 120 relevant scholarly articles. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo 12 software. The findings highlight nine core teaching skills that Quran teachers must acquire both theoretically and practically: i) openings and ii) closures enhance attentiveness and reflection, iii) explanation and iv) questioning strengthen comprehension and critical engagement, v) reinforcement and vi) variation sustain motivation, while vii) classroom management, viii) group discussions, ix) and individualized teaching foster discipline, collaboration, and inclusivity. This study contributes theoretically by strengthening the conceptual framework of basic teaching skills within Islamic education, and practically by offering insights for teacher training, curriculum development, and policy initiatives aimed at enhancing the quality of Quranic pedagogy in Islamic educational institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to discover three supporting components that contribute to the success of gifted students in Quran memorization, namely parental support, teacher support, and peer support. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected from twenty purposively selected gifted students actively engaged in Quranic memorization programs. In-depth interviews were conducted, and thematic analysis was performed using NVivo 12 software to identify recurring themes and patterns. The findings reveal that parental support is provided through motivation, emotional encouragement, a conducive environment, and active involvement in accompanying memorization. Teacher support is realized through systematic memorization techniques, continuous monitoring and evaluation, and motivational reinforcement. Peer support contributes through group memorization, healthy competition, and mutual moral encouragement. Overall, the success of Quran memorization among gifted students is strongly influenced by the synergy of family, school, and social environments. This study emphasizes that the integration of parental, teacher, and peer support is essential for designing systematic and comprehensive Quranic memorization programs, and the findings provide practical insights for educators and policymakers in strengthening tahfiz education as a medium for intellectual, moral, and spiritual development of gifted students.

Abstract

This article discusses the theory and application of Fiqh al-Bīʿah Watan (Local Islamic Environmental Jurisprudence) as a framework for Islamic environmental governance in the State of Pahang. The approach emphasizes that environmental stewardship is not merely a human duty but an act of worship grounded in tawḥīd, maqāṣid, and adab. Using historical and content analysis, the study examines key policy documents and academic sources such as Garis Panduan Syariah Alam Sekitar (JAKIM, 2023) and Ceramah Aspirasi Pahang 1st (2025). Findings reveal that Fiqh al-Bīʿah Watan functions as a local Islamic epistemology integrating Malaysia customs, science, and Shariah principles within a holistic maqāṣid-based sustainability framework. Pahang thus emerges as a model of Islamic ecological governance aligning development with raḥmah, mīzān, and barakah.

Abstract

Transformational leadership in education is considered an effective strategy to enhance school quality, build a positive organizational culture, and foster student character. Mts Pakis in Gununglurah Village, Cilongok, Banyumas, stands out as an alternative agroforestry-based school for children from underprivileged families and serves as a unique example of transformational leadership in practice. This study aims to analyze the transformational leadership practices of the madrasah principal in strengthening organizational culture and improving educational quality. The research employs a qualitative approach with a literature study method. Data were collected through a review of primary literature discussing Mts Pakis and transformational leadership concepts, as well as interviews with Kang Is, the principal of Mts Pakis. Data analysis was conducted using Avolio and Bass's transformational leadership framework. The results indicate that the principal implements two main dimensions of transformational leadership: inspirational motivation through a vision integrated with local values and the Pakis principles (Piety, Achievement, Knowledge, Integrity, Sincerity), and individualized consideration by giving attention to both students and volunteers despite limited resources. Therefore, this study confirms that transformational leadership is not only effective in formal schools with adequate support but can also succeed in community-based alternative madrasahs. These findings are expected to enrich educational leadership studies with perspectives of local wisdom and environmental sustainability.

The research employs a qualitative method with a literature study approach, drawing upon primary sources such as the Quran, Hadith, scholarly opinions, and state regulations governing waqf. Findings indicate that cash waqf can be productively utilized in education, religious infrastructure development, and healthcare services. Management is carried out by nazhir through transparent and accountable systems supported by Islamic financial institutions. The implications highlight the importance of optimizing cash waqf management as a means of socio-religious empowerment and strengthening the economic welfare of the Muslim community.

Abstract

Multiple intelligences are the basic potential granted by Allah SWT to all humans. For children, this intelligence needs to be nurtured, trained, and developed from an early age in a sustainable manner. In the context of Islamic education, there are many ways parents can cultivate a child’s multiple intelligences, for example by reading historical accounts and stories contained in books related to multiple intelligence education. The Kitab Ta’lim Fadhilah Amal is the main reading for the Jama’ah Tabligh da’wah movement group in educating each family member, including their children. In general, this book contains history and messages of life, worship, and spirituality from the Prophet Muhammad SAW, his companions, and previous scholars, presented in the form of stories. This study specifically aims to analyze the effect of story-based education from the Kitab Ta’lim Fadhilah Amal, as practiced by parents, on the development of children’s multiple intelligences in Jama’ah Tabligh families. This research employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through interviews with forty informants selected using a purposive sampling technique. The informants consisted of parents, children, and leaders of Jama’ah Tabligh groups in three different countries: Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. To strengthen the interview data, the author also conducted four years of observation by directly participating in the family activities of the Jama’ah Tabligh group, such as Ijtima’, Bayan Markas, Ta’lim Halaqah, Khuruj, and Jaulah, and even visiting the homes of all informants. All interview and observation data were thematically analyzed using NVivo 12 software. The research findings identified four aspects of intelligence that emerged from story-based education in the Kitab Ta’lim Fadhilah Amal that influenced children’s multiple intelligences. These include: (i) verbal-linguistic intelligence, (ii) intrapersonal intelligence, (iii) interpersonal intelligence, and (iv) spiritual intelligence. The findings of this study can serve as a guide for parents to nurture and develop children’s multiple intelligences from an early age in Muslim families.

Abstract

This study analyzes the construction of Islamic ecological da'wah in extractive capitalism and highlights the limitations of the critical literature in linking ecological da'wah to global economic structures. The research method used Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The results of the study show that ecological da'wah is constructed through Islamic values, environmental ethics, and conservation practices that emphasize changes in human consciousness and behavior. There has been a shift in research focus from an anthropocentric approach to eco-theology and environmental conservation. Most ecological da'wah discourses still operate on a cultural and spiritual level, without explicitly challenging the logic and structure of extractive capitalism as the main cause of environmental degradation.
